What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[The Lost Cowboy]

Love it. High crown works so well.

Thank you sir!

Nice one, Nathan! Tell your dad Happy Birthday from the Lounge! I wasn't able to make it the other Huntsville birthday party tonight.

Huntsville missed you, I'm sure. Was your excuse for missing the party that you were watching the Iron Bowl? I actually quit the game at half time thinking it would be a blowout, but it looks like the Auburn defense actually showed up for the second half.

Too bad the offense couldn't catch the ball to save their lives.

Roll Tide. I'm excited for the playoffs!
Awesome 7X btw!

Hey Nathan—

Thanks for the kind words!

I’m alive and well—trying to give my brain a break from social media/the internet in general and give my wallet a break from buying hats. Not entirely successful on either front but doing pretty well. As Phil noted, I have been downsizing as well—trying to get down to just the hats I really like and actually wear. I did join Brent’s vintage hat group on FB but have only popped in a couple of times.

Hope you are well, feeling healthy and, of course, enjoying the fine fedora weather!

Cheers,

David

David! Nice to hear from you.

I quit social media two years ago and have not missed it at all, so maybe I understand where you're coming from. I hope the distance has brought you greater peace of mind.

We miss your great photos and classy hat collection around here, but thanks for letting us know you're still in good health.

Best wishes to you David!

VERY nice, Steve. LOVE the contrasting ribbon on the bow!

Mark, Thank you!

 

[mayserwegener]

A hat deserving of the word "awesome". Incredible hat, Steve.

Stefan, Thanks! Fantastic series of hats from you1 Great series of Velours! The rare Carl Blum Velour is always a treat!

Last night’s birthday party was also an iron Bowl party. I was going to take my 93 year-old dad, but he woke up yesterday and said he didn’t feel up to it. Honestly, the best decision he’s made all year lol. So we just watched it at home.

I feel like AU out played us, especially in the second half, but we got the win and I am happy. Hope you guys had fun last night!

You matched the V perfectly with that ensemble, Gary.

It's always nice to spend time with the folks. I am blessed to still have both of mine. But 93! Wow!

My dad's actually not much a football fan. He tolerates it. My mom and I watch.

We had a blast this whole week. Thanksgiving on Thursday, cinema on Friday, birthday on Saturday. Can't beat a line up like that.

Have a great evening, brother.

Splendid Sunday again!!! I'm going with the Borsalino Vaiato as #1, the Brummel's Luxor as #2, and the Fléchet Velour as #3. Thanks for another feast for our eyes, Stefan!

You've seen the latest fur arrivals.
Today, Sunday, we return to the old ones, gathered in four hat cases where they've been together for years.
View attachment 751062
A Borsalino Qualità Ssuperiore in the "Ghiaccio" color, with a "Marina" hatband, meaning dark blue.
View attachment 751063
It arrived a few years ago in less than perfect condition (see the ribbon), but has been petted and brought to a good state.
View attachment 751064
Every time I find a "furry" Borsalino, I wonder where the felt comes from—whether it's homemade or supplied by another manufacturer.
View attachment 751065
In this case, the felt is extremely soft and very malleable, of medium weight.
The rest will arrive in the next few days, weather permitting.

I take this opportunity to wish you a happy Sunday and thank you for your kind words.

Woot!!! What an outstanding hat, Daniele!!

Sure been a lot of great hats posted here lately. I've been watching but haven't had anything new to add to the discussion. Here's my contribution to all the wonderful Black hats !!
O'Farrell that I bought from the estate of a rancher in Phoenix, Arizona.
